Teaching and Learning Method Classical lecture. The classical lecture is teacher-centred and entails lecture sessions. It encourages two-way interactions where the lecturer explores the relevant issues in greater depth, and students present their thoughts to reflect student knowledge and understanding. The lecture induces many activities to provide channels for shaping the student's attitude, general and specific skills, and knowledge. Students are encouraged to do reading before class and get involved in the class discussion led by the lecturer. Student performance is central for the lecturer in giving the evaluation in a classical lecture. The classical lecture is used mainly for the theoretical and conceptual courses. Seminar-type. The seminar-type class, in contrast, gives students more opportunities and flexibility to express their ideas and thoughts. The lecturer divides students into small groups consisting of three to five students and determines topics as a basis for the discussions. A group of students leads the discussion, and the other students are responsible for responding or taking the role of opponents. The lecturer plays a role as an observer and will interfere whenever it is necessary. In this learning method, the evaluation focuses on the group performance, including how the assigned group can make the class discussion alive. Students will spend considerable time outside class to work with their group members to prepare for the in-class presentation. Not only does this method help students gain an understanding of the knowledge by exposing them to research articles and practical cases but also builds the required skills and attitude according to ELO through group works. Research supervision. In research supervision, a lecturer is assigned to supervise student research activities. It is a one-to-one meeting between a lecturer and student used specifically for assisting a student in writing his/her thesis. The lecturer assists the student in defining research problems, choosing appropriate theory, providing literature review, building hypotheses, applying an appropriate research method, collecting data, analysing data, and making a good research report. The lecturer's focus in this stage of supervision is on the students' ability to use the appropriate theories and concepts in their research according to the area of interest and the implementation of knowledge to suggest problem-solving for stakeholders. This teaching and learning activity is held parallel with the regular class, and the schedule is arranged flexibly between the lecturer and students.

Student engagement.
